The answer is always B - 9/26/08 - "The Gospel and Righteousness"

It's been a while since I've done one of these ever-so-difficult multiple-choice pop quizzes.

What is the correct wording of Romans 1:16-17?

A. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, especially for those who try harder to live right. For in it man's righteousness becomes even better; as it is written, "The just shall live by trying to be just."

B. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."

Hey now, wait just a minute my brotha Joel. A is A-OK. These people are trying their hardest and doing their best! You know Someone is smiling on them, especially because one of them - who happens to be one of my most faithful supporters - mentioned sending monay to ma ministray-yuh!
